The Dallas Stars took a big win last night, shutting out the Nashville Predators 2-0 in Bridgestone Arena. Feels good, right? ...Right?
Sean Shapiro goes behind the scenes at an up-and-down day for the Stars in Music City, during which a lethargic morning practice left head coach Jim Montgomery scolding them audibly:
“We are tied for the last playoff spot,” Montgomery told his team in a voice loud enough to hear from the stands. “We are fucking inconsistent. I’m embarrassed, we should be embarrassed.”
Montgomery than began discussing that morning’s performance, calling it “fucking embarrassing” and saying that the team needed “get it together” before the game in Nashville that evening.
